Ahem! Buried on p.A12 on The New York Times: Fearing that health insurance premiums may shoot up in the next few years, Senate Democrats laid a foundation on Tuesday for federal regulation of rates, four weeks after President Obama signed a law intended to rein in soaring health costs... Here is a related recent piece on the expense of the mandate. Posted by Tyler Cowen "“Water and power are essential for life,” Mrs. Feinstein said. “So they are heavily regulated, and rate increases must be approved. Health insurance is also vital for life. It too should be strictly regulated so that people can afford this basic need.”" Wow. There's so many things wrong here, I don't know where to begin. marginalrevolution.com
